HMO malpractice is the denial of coverage to an eligible policyholder by a health maintenance organization. This can manifest itself by the HMO refusing to pay for necessary tests, failing to reimburse patients for treatment that should be covered by their policies, or other wrongful denials of service.

HMO malpractice can take place at any level of the claims process. The HMO itself may be responsible, or physicians can contribute to the problem if they think about their obligations to the HMO before their obligations to the patients. When HMO malpractice occurs it is a nightmare for policyholders who must navigate the legal issues of their policy while simultaneously trying to obtain immediate medical attention.
